Radio 58, side B, track 14: “The Glamorous Life” by Sheila E.

Oh, Sheila E., it’s my wedding anniversary today, and all I can say is that I’m really glad that my wife didn’t decide to lead the glamorous life. She’s absolutely covered in furs, but they’re of the cat and dog variety and are on ALL her clothes (which year has a lint roller as the traditional gift?). And while it is true I’ve lost a little weight this year, seeing me walk around in my underwear is more something she’s subjected to rather than lucky enough to see. I’m OCD, both with this blog, plus my Spider-Man comic books and I’ve also just jumped into the world of making a family tree, which is very quickly becoming an all-consuming obsession. So I’m not really what you’d call “a catch”, unless you’re comparing it to catching a cold or the flu. But for whatever reason, she’s decided to throw in with me rather than with the kind of guy who could comfortably hang out in the “if you have to ask you can’t afford it” lingerie section. So yeah, you’re right, Sheila E., love is glamorous, and I lead a pretty glamorous life.
